When I flew down to Turks & Caicos last year to shoot a wedding, who knew that I’d been yet another couple who’d become part of the Corey Pro “circle of friends”. Working with Erica and Rob was fantastic- their wedding location- Portsmouth, NH was a long way from Turks & Caicos, but we certainly had just as much fun! We had a great time while getting ready with all of the bride’s maids (one of which was Erika from the Turks wedding), lighting in the church was simply amazing (which is like hitting the lottery), and having booked several hours into their day for photos, we hit the streets of Portsmouth for a really fun urban shoot. At the end of a long day, I couldn’t have been more thrilled with how everything turned out, from start, to finish. Even more than that, I see Erica and Rob as my friends- and who doesn’t like shooting a wedding for a friend?

Recently I had the chance to have an engagement shoot with Christine & Dan, which turned out to be the first time we’d ever met in person. I wasn’t sure how they’d do in front of the camera; some folks are more natural than others when it comes to being photographed. WOW, these guys made my job easy… they had fun, care-free personalities, and were so obviously in love that they couldn’t have hid it had they wanted to! So, when it’s our time to go shoot your engagement- just do what Christine & Dan did: they were themselves.
